GARY WEISS - FIGURE DRAWING SIMPLIFIED

I have been studying with Gary Weiss, a teacher at the school, over the past several months and find his teaching style easy to understand with the use of geometry shapes to make the figure make sense. The right image shows the upper and lower arm as two cylindrical shapes with curves in the same direction indicating the volume of the structure. The left image has contour lines used to indicate the curves of the muscle bellies. Note how simple the shape of the hand is made and that it reads "hand".
